j0hn Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Only two minutes on the road so the engine probably wasn't warm enough. Recovered in time but it's one of those things I fear. Wasn't too bad in this instance but imagine between traffic and not turning over in time. Oh the shame . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 No shame in that (IMO). Would've taken longer with a kick start. I actually stalled mine going up a ramp last week. I figure it's bound to happen sooner or later... was just glad I didn't roll backward or dump it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hn Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Damn, stalling on a ramp sounds pretty scary. I've seen countless number of videos on YouTube where people completely flop trying to go up ramps . The shame of being stuck in the middle of two lanes while traffic on either side is either beeping or laughing past you, dread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather it was a large ramp to an arena. (So definitely embarrassing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah, it happened a few times on the DT and a few times on the XJ, was even worse on my DT50 as you couldnt actually pull away at any great speed anyway, i used to have to waddle forward like a penguin whilst letting the clutch out to get through the gate at RAF Halton the hill was so steep, the guards used to laugh a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all had a chuckle when my room mate slid off Darce road leading up to the Groves mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
